IN THE GARDEN. Some of the New Roses. (By "Redgum.")
The new-comers mentioned below are for the connoisseur, and not for the man or woman in the kindergarten class. All are of special merit, and none is cheap. [...] Barcelona, a new Spanish rose, is one of the richest crimsons to hand for several seasons. It carries the old rose perfume, has plenty of body, and is brilliant and beautiful. Even in its initial season the rose has grown like one of the old favourites.

A large crowd, consisting of members of the metropolitan branch of the New South Wales Agricultural Bureau, gathered in the Botanic Gardens yesterday afternoon to witness some interesting operations, which were conducted by the foreman of the gardens, Mr. Mitchell. ... Another transplantation was that of the finest specimen of tea-rose in the gardens - a "Dr. Grill", some 10 feet high after a cutting-back of about one-fourth. It was the first of its kind to be planted there, and had occupied the same position for about 35 years. No soil was taken with the roots, and the plant was placed in a hole specially prepared with a compost of leaf-mould, the earth being replaced shovelful by shovelful with liberal supplies of water from a hose - a process, according to Mr. Mitchell, more efficacious than any amount of treading down to solidify the soil about the plant's roots.

Walking on down the centre avenue, we enter the main gates of the gardens proper. Immediately inside, on the right, is a fine plant of an unpruned, grow-as-lt-please, garden rose, named, Dr. Grill, 10 feet high, and almost the same measurement through it.

The new-comers mentioned below are for the connoisseur, and not for the man or woman in the kindergarten class. All are of special merit, and none is cheap. [...] Korovo, a salmon pink flower, with plenty of petal quality and shapeliness, can be added to the best collection, where it will stand comparing with the best pink roses in favour to-day.

Madame de Watteville is another that grows easily from cuttings. It is also one of the few exceptions that do not fall to pieces after having opened, as it will frequently remain in perfection for two or three days.

Walking on past the Wishing Tree and through the gates dividing the middle from the lower garden, we come upon a bed with 60 plants of the ever-blooming, never-want pruning, Australian-raised garden rose named Mrs. Alister Clark, planted in July, 1916. This rose was raised several years ago in the garden of Mr. Alister Clark, near Melbourne. This year we shall have for one of our novelties, or new roses, one called Queen Alexandra, raised by the Rev. J. H. Pemberton, that received awards of merit from the National Rose Society of England, and which appears to be identical with Mrs. Alister Clark.
